Another gorgeous cover! This volume was slightly longer than the others but there was quite a bit packed in here. The primary focus was on Haruka and Michiru. They are revealed to be Sailor Uranus and Neptune but their loyalties are still called into question. Haruka's gender is also called into gender and Bunny doesn't really get a straight (ha!) answer. Haruka does tease Bunny and they share a kiss which just devastates Bunny. The Sailor Scouts discover Delta College is the homebase for the enemy the Witches 5 and Master Pharaoh 90. Rini makes friends with the Professor's daughter, Hotaru who seems very sick but is healed when she touches Rini's Imperium Crystal. Rini also crafts the Purity Grail that she saw in a picture at her Mom's palace. Neptune and Uranus reveal they have two of the talismans that the enemy is searching for. Setsuna arrives on the scene however and reveals herself to be Sailor Pluto at the very last page.I enjoyed this volume for the character arcs presented. Unlike the anime, there is no mention of pure heart crystals and the talismans aren't explained other than Raye's vision of destruction involving them. It was a great volume! Only 3 more of this main series!

Story: Like a fine wine Sailor Moon R gets better with time from it's predecessor Sailor Moon. The Black Moon Arc introduces the same cast of characters are back with new villains to fight. The series arc split in two with the first part having the Doom Tree aliens appear, Ann and Alan. The second part of the series introduces the Black Moon villains. This time there is a little surprise waiting for Serena and Darien, Rini, there are also three new scouts that are found: Neptune, Uranus, and Saturn.Drawing Style: The drawing is in the same style as in Sailor Moon. Simple, realistic and for the time period. Characters: The characters and story continue to be developed as the mystery of what happened in the Crystal Kingdom is revealed and the destiny of the characters is foretold. The new characters (Especially the corresponding villains) are a good foil for the characters that were already introduced. Overall: I thought that the second series arc of Sailor Moon was better than the first. The whole entire plot development takes on a new step in the second series making the volumes irresistible and the characters more lovable that before.Note: This review was completed after reading volumes 4-10.

Oh Sailor Moon, so formulaic. Collect the energy! We must get the Imperium Crystal! Overconfident minions! More energy! Rawr! But the little details and character developments outside of the repetitive enemy themes brings me back for more. That and probably the nostalgia factor. In this installment, we get deeper into the Infinity College story and find out a little more about the mysterious Michiru and Haruka. We also meet the tragic and delicate Hotaru, and see Darien and Bunny deal with some jealously followed by some cute family bonding with Rini over a school project. Also: more scouts (!!!) and a shocking reveal to close out the book.

One of my all-time favorite series. The gateway series to getting me into anime and manga! The artwork impressed me so much, and the story was fun. It is still one of my favorites both because it's well-done, and for nostagia reasons.This is the version that came out during the middle age of manga: before they stopped flipping the artwork, but right as TokyoPop was starting to emerge, and the volumes got cheaper. Unfortunately you could see it in the quality, as there were a lot of typos and sometimes the edges of pages would get cut off.

I know that this manga is far from the best... the story can be cliche in places, and the art is horrible in spots... But it has a special place in my heart - it was one of my very first introductions to anime and manga, and there's something empowering about Sailor Moon and the sailor scouts. I don't think it matters how old I get... I'll always find my way back to this manga.

In volume 7, Sailormoon R ended, and we saw the very beginning of the next story arc. In this volume are the Witches 5. You also see Hotaru (who eventually is revealed as Sailorsaturn) and her treatment in the anime and manga are quite different. Overall great manga.

It's been years since I read the Sailor Moon series, and decided I had to re-read them. I almost like this particular book better than I did the first time around. But, as a big Hotaru/Saturn fan I guess that isn't a complete surprise.

More Sailor Scout goodness. We finally see the end of the Infinity storyline which, frankly, is not my favorite. Glad to put it behind me and move on. The Dead Moon Circus storyline looks promising. We'll see where it goes in the next volume ...

By far one of my favorite series from my childhood. I recommend it to anyone and everyone. Sadly now it is really hard to find but if you manage to track down the volumes more power to you.^_^,
